Default Re: Bankroll for full time play

Edit:I'd like to know also how people manage 75000 hands a month?

People play 12-16 tables on the internets. Welcome.

Exactly. Yesterday for example I played 3600 hands in 6.5h and that's why I have a hard time understanding how someone goes pro playing only 6300 hands.
I have 20k-30k losing/break even stretches which for you would mean that you were losing/breakeven for the month. That's not something I'd be comfortable with.

Anyway, regarding your bankroll I suggest erring on the (far) side of caution. Playing with only 20-30 BIs if your long term livelihood depends on it is imho irresponsible.
If you play 2/4, need 4k/month and have a breakeven month you need to deduct 10 BIs (6.5BI@NL600) from your bankroll.
Now consider what happens to your bankroll in a bad month.
